"If it be the pleasure of Heaven
that my country shall requirethe poor offering of my life,
the victim shall be ready. But whileI live, let me have a country,
or at least the hope of a country, -and that a free country.
But whatever may be our fate, beassured ... this declaration will
stand. It may cost treasure,it may cost blood; but it will
stand, and it will richly compensatefor both ... And live or die,
survive or perish, I am for thedeclaration. It is my living
sentiment, and, by the blessing of God,it shall be my dying sentiment:independence now, and independence
forever!"

Signing the Declaration of Independence

"Government,
even in its best state, is but a necessary evil;in its worst
state, an intolerable one."
Thomas Paine

This
section of my page is for you who believe in Americaand
the wisdom of our forefathers and fathers who died infreedom's
cause. The institution of government has becomein
America an abortion of what was intended by our founders.Socialism
rages in the halls of Congress, and many do not taketheir
oath of "defending the Constitution" seriously. Rather,they
deliberately shred it - word by word - to achieve a documentof
dependence - dependence on government for every need!

The
preamble of the Constitution clearly states that theresponsibilities
of the government created by us, the people, are to"...provide
for the common defense, promote the general welfare,secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,..."Our
representatives today most often have the promote and providereversed,
and rarely concern themselves with securing our liberty."Fedgov"
now provides the general welfare, and sometimes promotesthe
common defense of the people.

A
term coined by a popular radio talk show host is 100% correct."Words
mean things."I
believe our founders chose the words they used on purpose becauseof
deep beliefs and principles, and a clear understanding of history.There
are no confusing phrases that can be misconstrued, especiallyif
you study the many other writings they left us. The intent is clear,the
meaning, exact. The limitations on fedgov were binding - contraryto
today's bulging bureaucracy that interferes with almost all areasof
our lives without any controlling authority.

It
is, therefore, up to us - the vets, men and women who have defendedour
country, to again lead and voice our concerns as our freedoms areviolated
by bureaucrats and legislators. We must take time to write ourrepresentatives
when legislation is bad for us, as well as when it is goodfor
us - and most importantly - for America and the freedoms sheguaranteed
in the Constitution!Take
time to write your reps on the issues addressed here, whether youagree
with my position or not - let your rep know - so he/she willlegislate
according to "the people" rather than socialistic ideology!

I'll
get down off my soap box now, and list a couple issues weshould
be concerned with. I will also throw in a few quotes fromtime
to time from our founders and other great Americans that Ihave
found strength and truth in.

Issue
#1

The
American Sovereignty Restoration Act, H.R. 1146

Let
your representative know that the greatest danger to our nation is thegradual
surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece to variousinternational
organizations, like the U.N. As recent events have again clearlyshown,
it is no longer in our national interest to kowtow to these internationalbureaucrats
who do not have the courage to uphold their own resolutions.We
need to purge ourselves from this distructive alliance for the long termwell
being of America. H.R. 1146 has been reintroduced by Ron Paul (R-TX),and
it will end our membership in this den of international socialists.
We willno
longer have to use our forces for military action of their calling, only
foraction
required for our own defense and national interest, and we will notbe
subjected to international laws that only will curtail our freedoms.

>>>GET
US OUT! of the UN!<<<

means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand bythe
president...."

Issue
#2

The
American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2001, H.R. 1146Part
II

Contact
Rep. Henry Hyde (R.-Ill.), the Chairman of the House Committee onInternational
Relations, to urge him to call hearings and a vote on HR 1146.Perhaps
your own representative would consider becoming a sponsor.As
of this writing, there are four co-sponsors.This
bill is immensely important to the sovereignty od our country which iscontinuously
being pulling into damaging treaties and agreements with theUnited
Nations. Think of it - do you want Americans to be tried in a worldcourt
led by unfriendly nations? Do you want American servicemen to takeorders
from foreign officers? We need to free ourselves from the bonds ofthe
United Nations, and this bill will do it. I don't have time here
to go into all thereasons
why it is important to leave the UN, but I will send you resources for
youto
look up yourself, if you wish.

Point of
interest regarding the flag burning issueA year or so
ago, Iwon.com had a survey on flag burning.

54% of respondents
believe flag burning is wrong and should be against the law.32% think it's
wrong, but a person has the right to do it

Regarding a
Constitutional Amendment protecting the flag,64% would support
it35% would oppose
it

The last question,
I think is a sad commentary - but true.65% of respondents
feel Americans are less patriotic than they were 20 years ago.27% don't believe
there has been a change one way or the other.Only 7% think
we are more patriotic.

I don't know
how "scientific" the survey was, or how many people took it.I put the results
here for you to think about - purely informational.

Thanks for
visiting this page.I hope you
feel as I do, that these issues must be won.Contact
your Congressman/woman.Thanks.

May
I also be so bold as to urge support for President Bushand
the War on Terrorism. ALL terrorists must be broughtto
Justice, or killed! There is NO gray area!
